Well Types We Install Serving Jacksonville, FL

Not every property needs the same type of well. Moore's Well Drilling evaluates your site, water needs, and lot conditions before recommending the best option.

Residential Water Wells supply drinking water, household plumbing, and daily use for homes not connected to a municipal water line. Many neighborhoods in Jacksonville's outer zones, including areas along the Duval-Clay border and rural parcels in western Duval County, rely on private wells. A properly drilled residential well can deliver consistent, clean water for decades when correctly installed and maintained.

Irrigation Wells are drilled separately to supply water for lawn and landscape irrigation. Keeping irrigation off your primary drinking water system protects household water quality and reduces utility costs. Homeowners in areas like Mandarin, Argyle Forest, and the St. Johns County corridor often use irrigation wells to keep yards healthy year-round.

Both well types may benefit from water treatment after installation. Jacksonville-area groundwater commonly contains elevated iron, sulfur, or hardness. Moore's water treatment services can address those issues alongside your new well.

How Deep Does a New Well Need to Be in Jacksonville, FL?

Depth varies by location, intended use, and the aquifer zone being accessed. The Floridan Aquifer system underlies the Jacksonville region and is the primary groundwater source for Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties. The top of the Floridan aquifer can reach 450 feet below land surface in some areas, while intermediate aquifer zones exist at shallower depths. Shallower residential wells may tap intermediate zones, while deeper wells access the Floridan system for greater yield and quality.

Moore's team assesses each site individually to determine the appropriate target zone and depth, which matters for both water quantity and long-term protection from surface contamination.

Permitting and Licensing for New Wells Serving Jacksonville

New well installation requires proper permits before drilling begins. In Duval County, well permitting for wells less than six inches in diameter is handled through Jacksonville's Environmental Quality Division under Chapter 366 of the City Ordinance Code and EPB Rule 8. In Clay County, the county health department administers well permitting under delegation from the St. Johns River Water Management District. St. Johns County operates under a similar delegation agreement.

Moore's Well Drilling works within these permitting frameworks and uses licensed contractors on every job, protecting you from compliance issues and ensuring your well meets state construction and setback requirements.
